Late Autumn Poem by Ramesh Anand

Late autumn -Evening twilight; The market laneherds of shoppers, In front of her small hut, she lays the stainless steel vesselson the mat...She, her hut, her mat, her vessels, her hope - Autumn ceasingallover...Late night -The lane deepening into deafening silence; Spoon by spoon, tiffin box by tiffin box, plate by plate, she carefully places theminside the jute sackknowing tomorrow willdawn again.
